Lübeck housing

In collaboration with WE architecture and Topos Landskabsarkitekter, DISSING+WEITLING architecture won first prize in the invited competition for approximately 20,000 square metres of housing in Lübeck, Germany. The new residential area was to consist of senior housing, student housing, public housing and apartments. The architects focused on creating optimal surroundings for life between the blocks by organising the houses in a way that a number of smaller urban spaces with different functions was created. The competition "Wohnquartier für Jung und Alt" was organized by the Lübeck Bauvereins (Housing Authority). The houses which are located on both sides of Ratzeburger Allee in Lübeck, was to form a new residential area that will replace the existing, outdated housing stock.
